IN JUSTICES HALLS.
A Large Grist of Business in the
County Court.

In the case of Richard w. Bell against
the board of county commissioners of
Ramsey county, Judge SimonS has sus-
tanned the demurrer of the complaint.
This case was brought by Bell to re-
cover % cents each on warrants and
citations issued by him as clerk of
courts. in the collection of personal
property taxes during the year 1885.
The demurrer is sustained on the
grounds that the complaint does not
state whether or not the sheriff failed to
collect on the warrants issued.
